The advanced Exmor R CMOS image sensor with 26.01 effective megapixels is packed with Sony’s image sensor technologies. It offers extraordinary sensitivity, resolution and dynamic range, thanks to its back-illuminated format, gapless on-chip lenses and AR coating (anti-reflection seal glass).

With up to eight times more processing power than previous versions, the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine delivers natural gradations and realistic colors with low noise for stills and movies.

The α6700’s standard sensitivity ranges from a low ISO 100 to ISO 320003, and offers a wide dynamic range so that natural gradations can be captured in high-contrast scenes without blown highlights or blocked shadows.

The α6700 offers impressive exposure control. It’s equipped with a new AE algorithm, which enables it to accurately detect the skin area of faces and adjust exposure accordingly when shooting. It can also maintain realistic colors under a wide range of light sources.

The Creative Look setting offers greater creative flexibility. It provides 10 presets that can be used as they are or customized via eight adjustable parameters to suit the subject or scene, whether you’re shooting stills, movies or live-streaming. You can easily set the mood ahead of shooting.

Shoot hand-held or in low-light with confidence—the five-axis in-body optical image stabilization system is supported by precision gyro sensors to deliver up to 5-steps of shake compensation. It detects and compensates for various types of camera shake, including angular (pitch/yaw) shake.

Through enhanced design and control of key parameters, the α6700 provides precise detection and control right down to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor’s 26.0 megapixel resolution to produce images that capture all the finer details.

For the first time in an APS-C camera, the α6700 includes the HEIF format with smooth 10-bit gradations for more realistic reproduction of skies and portrait skin tones. The HEIF format also uses advanced compression technology to maintain image quality while significantly reducing file size.
